About

On 1st September 2016, the management of the former Cheadle Hulme Recreation Centre was transferred to Cheadle Hulme High School (CHHS) and, after extensive refurbishment, Club Cheadle Hulme was launched.

Club Cheadle Hulme invested £1 million in the building to provide an exciting new fitness experience, which incorporated a brand new gym utilising the latest technology and equipment. We also have a state-of-the-art floodlit 3G full-size pitch for football and rugby, as well as a smaller astro-turf pitch and refurbished tennis courts. In November 2019, we upgraded our gym equipment to maintain our commitment to deliver state-of-the-art facilities to our members. In March 2021, we were delighted to support the return to sport guidance allowing outdoor sports to resume, shortly followed by the return of indoor sports in April 2021. It’s been fantastic to welcome everybody back and the club continues to go from strength to strength.

Our team of qualified staff here at Club Cheadle Hulme offer our customers excellent sport and leisure opportunities in the local area.
